ML> RN> there.  I think their users guide is only available online, so I
ML> RN> checked and found this:

ML> RN> http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/nx430_/nx430_ug/index.html

ML> RN> which is no doubt what you found and probably the source of your

ML> RN> those pages is going to take a lot of time, so you might ask them
ML> RN> if they can make it available.

ML>i wouldn't be screen grabbing... that's too much work... however, diligent
ML>snooping under the sheets shows that they are using a frames format for that
ML>help file... viewing the frame source for the left hand TOC frame turns up
al
ML>manner of links that all seem to start with "source/"... playing, i've found
ML>that replacing "index.html" in your above link with the link in the page
ML>sources turns on the actual page content... but this is still a lot of work
ML>unless, perhaps, wget or a custom screen scraper can grab it all and format
i
ML>for local viewing... but there's still going to be a lot of work...

ML>FWIW: i note on the initial page that there is a reference to CHM which is
on
ML>of the windoes help file formats... it would not surprise me at all to find
ML>that they are either breaking the info out of an existing CHM in the
backgrou
ML>or they have already done so and are using HTML to present it... it is also
ML>possible that the site is working from the original sources of the CHM
file..
ML>the question now is if the CHM file can be found or made available for those
ML>systems that are not conntected to the 'net... i think that is the specific
ML>question that needs to be put to epson ;)

Mark,

Thank You Very Much for this info!

Monday when I dig into the files in the Index Directory to try to
connect them with the Index.HTML file I'll have your suggestions on a
piece of paper in front of my face.

Thanks Again!
